HIDS keep blowing my fusses

Hi,

I have had my HIDs for a while now and suddenly my fews blew for the left side. Full beam and dipped so I did the normal thing and replaced
The fuses which blew again.

Now what can be wrong any ideas? I belive it may be the ballast but hope it is not

Its probably worth double checking all the wiring. It may just be shorting somewhere.

Unfortunately, it probably means taking the light unit out again though

I have taken my lights out so many times it's in believable I think It has shorted out the full beam as the cable has rubed on alternator belt but the other one is fine it's just the left side not working which is odd

I have well fixed it. It was a dogey ballast. Cos I have full and dipped HIDs I Swaped the full beam ballast for the diped now the diped works fine and the full beam fuses keeps blowing so problem solved.
Going to get some HIDS looking bulbs instead for the full beam... Any recommendation on what kind
